Former Chelsea and Middlesbrough star Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was taken aback by the shape of Rob Green's little finger when the latter revealed it live on air.

The ex-West Ham and England goalkeeper showed the Dutchman, fellow pundit Bobby Zamora and the camera his disfigured finger when they started talking about the ferocity of shots, something Hasselbaink was renowned for.

"That's from one of Jimmy's free-kicks about 15 years ago!" Green laughed.

"Are you pointing at me? Stop pointing at me!" Zamora, a teammate of Green's at QPR, chuckled.

Green first spoke about the problems with his pinky on an episode of Football Focus in 2015, claiming that it was the result of 20 years as a shot stopper.


He was also ridiculed for it by Jamie Carragher on Monday Night Football last year.

A professional for two decades, Green enjoyed a solid career between the posts at some of the biggest clubs in the country. He came through the ranks at Norwich City, where he made over 200 appearances and made it into the PFA Team of the Year for 2003/04.

He then moved to Upton Park on a four year deal, where he won 'Hammer of the Year' in 2008 and helped them gain promotion from the Championship in 2012.

However, after failing to agree an extension to his stay in the East End, the 41 year old shifted across London to Loftus Road, where he played a further 121 matches. His club career concluded with spells at Leeds United, Huddersfield Town and Chelsea.

In addition to memorable moments on the domestic stage, Green will also forever be remembered for his endeavours with the England national team.

After making his debut for the Three Lions in 2005, he went on to play 12 times for his country, one of which was during the 2010 World Cup, where he made a horrendous error against the USA.
